Improving the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of agricultural enterprises
Abstract. Economic security, which originated in the twentieth century, has become an integral part of the national and world economy at all stages. In order to ensure stable functioning, enterprises are forced to constantly analyze threats to their activities and take measures to minimize or neutralize them. To simplify a process of analyzing the economic security of enterprises, various methods are used, which should take into account industry specifics. One of the groups of enterprises with specific features of the economic activity are agricultural enterprises. This study is intended to complement the methodology for assessing the economic security of agricultural enterprises. As a result of the analysis of threats and risks to the economic security of agricultural enterprises, the methodology includes additional functional components that increasingly affect the activities of these enterprises. The functional components are defined through the relevant indicators, which made it possible to improve the existing methodology for assessing the economic security. The results obtained can be used by the management of enterprises and economic security specialists to more accurately assess the level of the economic security of agricultural enterprises.
